Remarks: "Black Eagle Beer. Circa: 1936 - 1937. This American Can Company, 12 ounce container, lists Patents Pending and was filled for The Class & Nachod Brewing Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; located at 10th Street and Montgomery Avenue. Although not mentioned, this package was actually filled by Manhattan Brewing Company of Chicago, Illinois. This is the same package design as seen on the previous page (USBC-OI 115) with, however; the differing patent information, printed at the bottom-left of the right side panel. This Grade 1 example is one of only four quality examples known to the author, along with another fifteen or so lesser condition examples existing also. Rarity Rating: R-9-R-7."
